Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, war strategy, and craftsmanship. Born fully grown and armored from the forehead of her father, Zeus, she is known for her intelligence, fairness, and protective nature. Athena is often associated with the city of Athens, where she is the patron deity, and her symbols include the owl and the olive tree. Unlike Ares, who represents the chaos of war, Athena embodies strategic warfare and justice.
